That was my logic
However, I can safely say you're missing very little. It's the worst of the Avengers lead in films so far.

I quite enjoyed it.
X-Men First Class was much better though.

First Class is an excellent film

It's a bit of a concern if they don't get Cap right
As much as I love RJD, Avengers should not end up being "Iron Man and his supporting cast"

I can't actually tell you what I didn't like about it without spoilers
But I think it's dire.

I'm actually prepared to believe you're quite right mate
I was spectacularly uninspried by the trailer. A Captain America movie should be something special, not rushed out to facilitate an earlier release for Avengers.

I felt very much the same about the trailer, but I watched it on the recommendation of a friend

Am properly excited about Avengers
but I insist on backstory, so will give it a watch and most likely text you my agreement of your assesment at the end

Compared with the made for TV films in the seventies
it's a fucking masterpiece. God they were hideously awful.

I've only seen the old Fantastic Four movie
Terrible

I've heard that.
It didn't get released though, did it? It took Marvel a loooong time to get their live action stuff (bar the Incredible Hulk series) right.

Blade was pretty good, I thought
And that was only the 6th film they did (granted, it was 54 years after the first one)

Blade was probably the point where Marvel characters started to be done properly.
